Revenue officers seized over 86 litres of alcohol, 1,600 cigarettes and almost two kilograms of tobacco at Dublin Port.

The goods, with an estimated worth of over €2,600 were seized during a van search this morning.

A Slovakian driver and his Hungarian passenger were questioned after officers searched a Ukranian registered van that arrived on a ferry from Holyhead.

The contraband represented a potential loss to the Exchequer of approximately €1,950.

The seizure was carried out as part of Revenue's ongoing operations targeting the supply and sale of illicit alcohol and cigarettes in the shadow economy.
